    My bad hustle habit is the opposite of most: talking too much!

    YMMV, but if I spend more than 2 minutes talking to a guy or getting in any sort of "real" conversation, the sale is blown. When I keep it light and fast and barely talk, I bank.

    The biggest of my "bad hustle habits" is not having confidence...I've been pretty off lately...

    I make myself toooo relatable(sp?) I find a common ground something we can have small talk about and then it becomes a full blown converstaion and I become pretty, intelligent girl I can talk to vs. hot sexy stripper I want to spend lots of $$$ on.

    I give them too many "outs" sometimes, and I'm not pushy enough. I should be more aggressive, and I think they'd sort of expect that with my appearance and all. My problem is the opposite of Emily/CinKisses I need to stop listening to their excuses and just bail more quickly!

    I should approach more guys than I do. Sometimes I think someone won't spend or he didn't really mean "later" and I forget about him. Then I find he did dances with someone else and tipped really well too. This happened last night and I was kicking myself.

    Also, I need to be more flirty and less salespersony. I shake hands in too much of a businesslike way. Not that I'd grab someone's crotch, but I need to be skankier. LOL

    NO crotch grabbing pullllllllllleaaaaaaaze!

    I always approach guys who say maybe later. I tell them, "ok well when will you be ready for your dance from me" if they aren't on bs then they'll say, "come back in 20min" If they still pull that...I straight up ask them if they intend on buying really buying a dance because I dont' want to waste either of our time.

    Trust me, I'm learning to bail out more quickly...It feels damn good to stop a broke ass right in the middle of his, "no thanx" than sit around and hear it. It gives me a, "fuck him bitch we're to good anyway" type of spark and it keeps a smile on my face.

    As far as the handshake..I'll be honest I still have my moments when I do that. To curb that..I'll like rest my hand on his shoulder and say, "hey nice to meet you"

    STOP THAT! You're effing it up for everyone! LOL but hey, at least you know that you have this problem and you're trying to stop it. Moet, give it a 3 song max. Hell, that's about at least 12 min of your time for free right there.

    Think about it like this..for you wasting 12 min talking to this dude you could've just made $60 dancing for someone else. Dont' waste time on the non-spenders. Find the one who will make your night!

    I need to stop getting annoyed so quickly and not get huffy with people. I'm trying to adjust a Las Vegas hustle to Milwaukee, and, it ain't going so good.

    Occasionally I lose stripperific-ness and burst out laughing at the ridiculousness of it all in the middle of a sale (usually always one I'm sure won't happen anyway... oftentimes one with a language barrier)

    this doesn't happen THAT often... but man, occasionally i just crack the fuck up.

    So much word! I feel myself doing this. You are, after all, supposed to be fantasy, someone they'd probably never have a shot with IRL...

    I had this happen a couple of times where guys just want to be 'friends' and take you out to dinner. Then another girl comes along with a more direct approach and takes him upstairs!

    Just stick to being flirty and fun. Divert any way too personal questions and anything too intellectual (this is a major deal breaker even with smart men).

    Once you're upstairs in VIP, you can get chatty there.

    I tend to avoid guys who come in by themselves, I don't know what it is but its easier for me to approach a group of guys then one lone guy sitting by himself.

    Also I can get too into a conversation and forget that I am suppose to be sexy not a smart ass bitch .

    I'll say REALLY stupid shit sometimes. Like "what you should never, ever do if you want to make money" stuff.

    ::walks up to VIP counter with customer::
    Me: "So you only want one, right?"

    ... WHAT DID I JUST SAY???

    This after having danced for two years. I don't know why I say shit like this.

    Or when I finish a dance, I'll say the same thing "So you only wanted one, right?" Or "So are you done with me now?" (Said cheekily, but still stupid)

    It's funny to me because I actually do very, very well at my club. But c'mon now. I need to stop that shit. Stupid, stupid.

    Hmmm maybe to save yourself from this say something like:

    Him: yeah I think we're done
    You: smacks his arm "Yeah right! As much fun as we've had, you can't POSSBILY be done with me! Let's keep going __(insert his name)___"
    Him: Ok

    Prob solved

    Why divert anything too intellectual? I've noticed that when I am "super smart stripper" and start a conversation on the floor, they either are much more likely to say no to a lapdance or they fall in love with me and spend a ton of me. I'm not sure how to maximize my earnings with this discovery.

    ^I'm trying very hard not to be the "smart college stripper" because alot of men want to play that "white knight" fantasy. Plus, some guys just think strippers are dumb! I can't play the dumb blonde (no pun intended lol) route, but I try to keep deep intellectual conversations to a strict minimum. I'm learning to just be super flirty and smile, and shake my boobs more lol.

    ^I can see how that can work. So far I've discovered that my best chances for getting a dance with a middle-aged man is to mention my university and that I teach piano but to leave it at that. They LOVE the piano teaching.

    I usually work it in somehow, like if they ask how often I dance I'll say something like "No that often because I'm going to school and I also teach piano" followed by *change subject*

    I'm definitely learning the difference between being myself (smart college stripper) vs. being smart, but focusing on having a fun time w/ the guy vs. being a total dip.

    I'm trying to go for that happy medium where I'm intelligent, but also very entertaining. This has helped me cut my hustle time down immensely...because I'm smart about things that are based in the club (mostly) instead of larger subjects. My intelligence comes across in remarks I make, rather than intense conversations I start. If that makes sense.

    When I first started, I'd spend up to an hour (and usually come back later) with ONE guy, having a super intense (good, but intense) conversation with him. CRAZY. I've been working hard on finding the happy medium lately. But the first year of dancing, even though I made good money (b/c some older guy would always fall in love with me and spend money), I wasted SO much time and energy on representing the true Me.

    I'm glad you like it..I seem to get my best "come back" lines when I'm at home. I "think" I come up with some damn good lines..If only I could remember half of them to use myself when I get to work.
